"The layout of this state park was somewhat unusual: there are five loops within one larger loop with 32 sites plus seven additional pull-through sites on the outside of the loop."
"It is not far away from freeway I90.
It has never been crowded when we were there in spring or fall. Big campground, clean and tidy, in an open area with few trees. Shower building was OK."

"Seven sites, most lakeside. Boat ramp and bathroom facilities."

TravelerWe stayed here just one night passing through. There were only a few sites occupied. The campground is split into two halves. To the right are about 25 sites with electricity. To the left is a bigger loop without electricity. We got a site near the river, which was rushing. So the noise of the road was less offensive. No cellular service, at least no T-Mobile connection.
TravelerOverall the place is cute and clean. It is well taken care of. They let us check in early and the laundromat on site was a plus. We took advantage of the hot tubs on our two night stay. The tubs are great and super popular. Unfortunately, the sites are pretty small and close together. For what you get, it seemed a bit spendy.
TravelerThis place is just a few minutes from the freeway on a relatively good dirt road. There is a big open space that you come to first, which can accommodate a number of RV's. We drove farther up the road and found a more secluded place. It is an OHV area and can be a bit noisy. However, It has excellent cellular coverage and is not far from town. Lots of mountain bike trails nearby. We were there for a couple of nights. Lots of rigs came in just for one night stays.
TravelerWow this was a very unique camping experience up in the boulders. Had a lot of fun walking my dogs and cat up in there. (Yes my cat goes camping too). There was no water pumps on the campground, however there is a nice little creek running through that one could get water. Also there were vault toilets and the one we used was closer to the entrance of the campground. It was clean, however the door didn't lock. Really wish we didn't go on a holiday weekend as it sounded like a dirt bike ho-down and wasn't very relaxing. We will try again during the week or a non holiday weekend. The stars were gorgeous, and the bird watching was phenomenal. At least when there weren't dirt bikes.
ScoutSeems KOAs are loosing their appeal. Pool was broken and dirty, chess pieces were missing, nothing else to do for the kiddos but a dilapidated playground. Half the park was off limits because it was under construction. Our site didn’t have a fire pit. Office smelled like smoke when you walked in.
GuideVery decent spot to spread out and enjoy a wide open vista. The designated camp spots are super clean and nicely laid out. I couldn’t give 5 stars for several reasons: there is not any shaded spots, it’s very exposed; the vault toilet is a significant jaunt for the campers to reach, especially females, and there is not a faucet to get any water (but it’s dispersed so totally acceptable). But I picked this because the family (5) can have space and it’s super clean and quiet. Now that I’ve explored the area I know some other sweet spots to try on vicinity. Overall this is a tremendous place and I will certainly be back.
ScoutNice spot along a stream. Seems to be a weekend spot for locals from Helena. I was told by locals that it has been free until 2025 and is now $10. It's primitive with a picnic table, and sit was fairly level.
GuideThis place was amazing! Very well maintained area! Picnic benches, tent camping spots, rv spots! We might have been lucky but no mosquitos! It’s across the bridge in case you can’t find it from google maps :)
ScoutSite rental includes passes to Hot Springs indoor and outdoor pools. Great stop and worth the price.
